In this paper, a close-form B-snake model is presented for contour extraction in medical images. Based on our previous research work [lo], the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) h...
We consider a simple statistical model of the image, in which the image is represented as a sum of two parts: one part is explained by an i.i.d. color Gaussian mixture and the oth...
This paper considers the problem of recognizing faces under varying illuminations. First, we investigate the statistics of the derivative of the irradiance images (log) of human f...
We present a visual saliency detection method and its applications. The proposed method does not require prior knowledge (learning) or any pre-processing step. Local visual descri...
In this paper we propose a new segmentation algorithm which combines patch-based information with edge cues under a probabilistic framework. We use a mixture of multiple Gaussians...
